Student and curriculum management system (SITS/SITS Online/MSR) upgrade

The corporate student and curriculum management system SITS:Vision (known locally as SITS) is due to be upgraded as part of the annual upgrade cycle.

The SITS system, including SITS Online and My Student Record (MSR), will not be available to staff or students from Friday 31 March to Sunday 2 April (inclusive) while the upgrade from version 9.1.0 through 9.2.0 to 9.3.0 takes place. We expect the system to be available again by noon on Monday 3 April (if it’s earlier we will email SITS users to let them know).

All students and SHU staff with an enabled SITS account will be notified of the system downtime by email and messages will also be put on the SITS Online/MSR/shuspace login pages and University TV screens/screensavers, prior to and during the upgrade. The Registry Services SITS Help team who provide support for student systems and process related enquiries will use the SITS System Status page on the Registry Services SharePoint site to keep staff users informed of progress during the upgrade.

We will remind you again nearer the time but in the meantime if you have any questions, please email the SITS Help team on ! SITS Help or telephone x 4475.
